Whoa....Ironman St George is almost upon me as I sit here it is 10 days to go until May 5th! All the training is done and I feel as though it went pretty well. Having never done an Ironman this early in the season only time will tell but the workouts have been solid.
I had a couple of good confidence boosters in races, a 1hr 16min half-marathon in March and an overall win at the Rumpass in Bumpass Sprint Triathlon just a week ago. The new bike fit has been absolutely awesome and I wish I had changed my position way sooner! The switch to 165mm cranks has really improved my comfort over long distances on the bike as well as my efficient when running off the bike.
I never got round to showing the March training totals so here goes:
Swim: 9hrs 25mins 16.37miles 532 TSS
Bike: 37hrs 26mins 699.87miles 2105.9 TSS
Run: 16hrs 01min 137.80miles 1263.2 TSS
Fortunately I was able to get a solid "home" training camp for a week during March which was in amazing weather (for March) and that really set up the March training block.
I promise an April update and photos from St George will come shortly!
The training ramblings of an Endurance Junkie....tend to ride my bike with the occasional swim and run.

- Still reflecting on @gravel_worlds from this past weekend. 150miles of primo gravel in Lincoln NE with 10,000ft of climbing. It was hard but I went for it and utimately paid the price in the last hour when I cracked, really cracked. Crawled to the finish just over 9hrs after starting.....but yes it was fun! . . . . . #gravelworlds #gravelride #IFB #parvillacycles #cycling #vandessel #lincoln
